THE MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS AND
TEXAS RAILROAD

A number of city capitalists have
organized company to build q rail-
road from this city 10 Jefferson, Tex,
and have instructed their engineer,
MIR. I. G. DAbney, to go forward with
the work OF surveying for the route at
once. Next after the Kansas City
railroad this will, 1t is easy TO predict,
prove 10 be the most useful railroad
that has ever been built in the interest
of Memphis. Constructed and con-
tTolled by Memphis capitalists, 1t can
no. fail to prove so, and in sense
40 full and complete, as ample and
profitable rs any of it's protector have
ever dreamed OF. Nothing that has
been said or done since the Midland
railroad was frat put before
the public Ia 30 significant OF the near
future OF Memphis as this road, which
viii run through and tap a section Of
tho country the richest in fruits and
promise that we know Of in the tranE-
Mississippi States, 1t lie, too, a most
encouraging proof Of the position Of
Memphis as a money &C lter that her
capitalists can undertake On enter
prise OF such magnitude. For many
years 1t has been written and spoken
OF, and at least two companies were
organised to build this road, but cpl
denies killed thsse as they killed
many other enterprises, and though
a necessity to our growth in trade Il
mas slept until this day. But better
tate than never. II Is the most pyomis.
ing venture in railroad construction,
after the Midland railroad, now before
the public, an ] It Is sure to have the
backing of the best Eastern capitalists
and railroad men II needed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 14.-Jim
Jones, colored, was hanged in Bowie
county, Tex, yesterday at l o'clock,
for the murder of Cate Hicks,
August 6, 1886. Jones was twenty
years old, and was known as a tough
character aud successful gambler in
Texarkana. In seeking suckers he
visited a railroad camp near Bassett,
Tex, and for awhile was the terror
of the camp. On visiting the COM
missary department. Cate Hicks, the
white cook, ordered him out, and in
response Jones shot him dead. Jones
was found guilty at a speedy trial,
sentence was passed, aud execution
was deferred until confirmed by the
Supreme Court. A few weeks before
the date fixed for execution, Jones
desired to be baptised, but the sheriff
refused to allow him to be taken
from the Jail. In consequence, a
tank was erected in the Jail and the
sacred rite was performed. At noon
yesterday the prisoner was escorted
to the gallows in the public square
by the Bowie Rifles. Ga the campus
had assembled several thousand spec
tators who, owing to the presence of
troops, kept good order. At 1890
o'clock p. m, the murderer addressed
the crowd with the usual faith in
eternal salvation. At 12:45 o'clock
the moose was adjusted, the trap
sprung and death ensued in twelve
minutes. The body was lowered to
the coffin at Ito o'clock p. m. This
was the first legal execution in Bowie
county since the war.

Tall men are the rage once more.
They come around about as regularly
as any other fads OF that curious in
stitution we call society. For q time
little fellows are all the go, and in
this period man must be small and
delicate and pink skinned it he
would win distinction among his tel
lows. But in due course the effemi-
nate sort Of thing has TO take back
seat, and the big and burly order of
mankind comes up for his inning.
just DOW the taller and heavier a
man may be the better, always pro-
vided he doesn't run too much to alb
domen. l. is amusing, too, to watch
the expedients to which members OF
my sex resort in order to be right in
line. Talk about the vanity of
women-why, it isn't worth speaking
Of in the same breath with the cox
combry Of the men. Walk along a
crowded street where there are big
windows that reflect the figures OF
the passers by. You will see that
the ladies as they sweep along are
looking at each other with the eye Of
criticism, while the men, every
mothers son of them, are staring at
their own sweet selves in the win
dOws, and are Sinking away for
dear life. Well, now that it is
just the proper thing for men to
be tall, they are improving
on nature and building themselves
up to the desirable limit. The way
they do it is to have their shoes
made with heels more than common
ly high, and then built up inside at
the back to a still greater extent.
This has the effect, while raising the
wearer, Of pitching him forward at
an angle that looks as though it must
be very uncomfortable indeed. But
the New York fashionable doesn't
care for a little thing of thatsort. Bless
you, no. There is one man in par
ticular who is making a sensation on
Broadway in these days, partly
through his natural gifts as to hight
and partly because he has been as
sisted by his shoemaker to an extent
quite beyond compare. This speci-
men is foreigner, and is said to be
of gentle birth. In point Of fact, he
is called baron. He is naturally over
six feet high. and is a fine looking
fellow of the brunette order. But
not satifed with his already advanta-
geous proportions, he has built him
self up enormously and his gait
thereby has become the very apex of
awkwarduess. CLARA BELLE.
